Rocket Micro – Ian Freire Pro 30.5″ Longboard Deck

Im Jahre 2017 hat Rocket das erste Ian Freire Pro-Modell auf den Markt gebracht.
Für 2021 haben sie das Board in Zusammenarbeit mit Ian vollständig überarbeitet Dabei hat sich Rocket mal wieder selbst übertroffen. Sie haben zahlreiche Features implementiert, wodurch ihnen eines der besten Downhill-Boards auf dem Markt gelungen ist.
Die erste Version erschien in zwei Varianten (einer schmaleren und einer breiteren). Ian ist jedoch nicht nur einer der besten Freeirder der Welt, sondern auch ein excellenter Downhill-Skater und extrem schnell!
Daher sind sie dieses mal einen Schritt weiter gegangen und haben für Ian gleich zwei Pro-Modelle entwickelt, mit gleichen Features aber in 2 verschiedenen Größen.
Das Macro und das Micro:
Ein Single-Kick Freeride Board und ein modernes, kompaktes Race-Board.

Du bist dir immer noch nicht ganz sicher ob dir das Board gefällt. Schau unten ins Video. Ian erklärt dir seine Pro-Modelle. Zusätzlich findest du darunter noch eine detailierte Review.

Rocket Micro – Ian Freire Pro 30.5″ Longboard Deck

In 2017 we introduced the first Ian Freire pro model. For 2021 we have completely revised the board together with Ian. The original board came in two widths. But Ian isn’t just one of the world’s best freeriders, he’s also extremely fast. So this time we went one step further and gave him two boards with similar features but in 2 different sizes. The Macro and the Micro: a single kick freerider and a small modern race board.

The boards are not built with our LAF technology anymore but thanks to a hollow core they are still lighter than most comparable boards on the market. The hybrid construction made of carbon, flax, and glass fibers ensures a very direct, yet smooth riding experience.

The Micro is a very modern race board, with features similar to the Macro and the original Ian Freire Pro, just compressed to a smaller size. It has a symmetrical foot platform with wide wheelwell flares, a steeper concave in the center of the board, and a continuous rocker. This board is the least restrictive of our mini boards and so fills a gap in our line up. It gives you the reference points you need without limiting your stance. It’s also our only mini board without a W concave.

Why no more LAF technology? Unfortunately, this construction was too time consuming for a small company like us. We also produced far too many factory seconds. That’s why we made the decision to switch. The new construction is still light, stiff and very durable. At the same time, however, it is more comfortable to ride.

Although we have always enjoyed LAF technology, we are happy that we can now build you a board that rides even better.

Not sure if you like the board? Ian explains his pro models in the video below. There, you can also find some reviews of the deck.
